This is it, my last day of my old unhealthy life (except for the two week liquid diet). I'm excited to see what's in store for me next. While I didn't think in a million years I'd be able to stick to the liquid diet, I did an absolutely amazing job. I even had two weddings to attend these last two weekend and wasn't able to eat at either one of them, that was tough.

Can anyone give me some feedback about how I will feel when I wake up. I'm not sure why, but that seems to be what I'm fixated on at the moment, just very very nervous.

To all of you having surgery soon like me, I wish you the very best.

I would guess sore and disorientated, just had hand surgery and that's how I felt. When I had my tubes tied I felt as big as a balloon from the CO2 in my tummy, next month it will be me asking, it will pass. You might even feel a little nauseous although I didn't with my hand. Anesthesia isn't the horror it once was, so you WILL BE fine. Today starts the better part of your healthy life and I believe you'll be fine. Your Rosey Pal

Good luck on your surgery tomorrow. I remember waking up in the recovery room and walking back to my hospital room. I began walking two hours later and then every two hours around the clock. It was more difficult the first day because I had to drag around a pole with wheels that held all my I.V.s. in place They would unplug me from their electronic sensors and I would begin my walks with the pole. I was in the hospital for two days and got around 2 hours sleep the whole time. So try and get as much sleep as possible tonight.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I needed that today

Wow James, you were up and around within two hours, that's amazing. I'm looking forward to being up and around tomorrow afternoon. Thanks for the good advice.

The nurse at my registration told me to prepare to be nauseous. When I wake up, when I get up, when I lay down, when I move...nausea. I went in expecting it...and my recovery was a breeze aside from gas pains! You can do this!!!

Good luck, AM SURE YOU WIL DO WELL.

I had full open procedure 20 yrs. ago and that pain and problems were still clear in my mind this time.

Having laparoscopic was like a walk in the park after that.

I was out in 24 hrs and off pain meds in a week.

"A breeze", that's exactly what I'm hoping for. Thanks so much for the positive message. I need all the help I can get today. Were you as nervous as I am?
